LIFE™
Procedure
Laser Induced Flow Enhancement procedure for BPH treatment.
True Definitive Care for BPH
LIFE Laser Induced Flow Enhancement is much more than a laser system.
LIFE is a simple and effective process for bringing true definitive care to BPH.
The LIFE Procedure incorporates both our EVOLVE® Laser System and our patented
side-fire fiber: FUSION.™ The combined result is a minimally invasive procedure with
enhanced patient benefits such as quick recovery, local anesthesia and minimal
post-treatment side effects or discomfort.
LIFE provides a better patient experience through
a number of advanced features and benefits:
- Minimal post-treatment discomfort or side effects
- Option of local anesthesia in an office setting
- Quick recovery
- Limited or no need for post-op catheterization
- No hospitalization post-op required
- Office visit co-pay versus hospital deductible
Low Risk of Complications: - Can greatly reduce the possibility of retrograde ejaculation
- In most cases, there is no impact on sexual performance
or continence
- Wavelength is ideal for vaporization and hemostasis
Clinical Result:
pre-operative
post-operative
“The operation, performed with the Evolve 980nm laser, can be rightly considered a
breakthrough in the treatment of BPH as it achieved an unobstruction comparable to
TURP while preserving sexual performance and ensuring normal anterograde ejaculation.”

EVOLVE® Laser System · FUSION™ Fiber
The EVOLVE Laser is used to vaporize and remove the obstructing prostate tissue
that causes the symptoms associated with BPH. The 980nm wavelength of the
EVOLVE Laser combined with the FUSION Fiber precisely eliminates the obstruction
while causing no damage to the surrounding tissue. This leads to a more rapid
recovery with less post-op discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Tissue Interaction
The 980nm wavelength of the EVOLVE Laser System provides the highest
combined absorption in water and hemoglobin. Since the prostate contains
a high percentage of water, the EVOLVE Laser vaporizes tissue effectively.
Absorption of the laser energy by hemoglobin leads to excellent hemostasis
combined with precise ablation of the obstructing tissue.
EVOLVE 150 Laser System
The World’s Most Powerful Medical Laser System:
For unmatched performance in speed and effectiveness
Mobile Unit or Portable System:
Depending on the setup of your practice, you can choose between the portable laser
system or a complete mobile unit with additional light, camera module and monitor
Extremely Quiet:
Noise is an unwanted distraction in endourological ORs, our EVOLVE Laser System
allows you to work in a quiet environment
Automatic Fiber Type Recognition:
The maximum output is based on the connected fiber. The laser detects and protects
the fiber type by maintaining secured output parameters (RFID technique)
Auto-Memory Function:
Operating the EVOLVE Laser System is further simplified by automatically storing
the last parameter settings used, ensuring both operator and patient safety
Interdisciplinary Use:
Due to EVOLVE’s small footprint and its light weight, the LIFE™ Procedure can easily be
incorporated into a mixed-device/mixed-procedure environment within surgical centers
Excellent Visualization:
The wavelength of the EVOLVE diode laser is invisible to the human eye and does not
impair your vision during a procedure. The resulting lack of distraction makes it easier
to operate with precision in a stress-free environment
Minimal Maintenance Costs:
Thanks to the long life and trouble-free characteristics of biolitec’s laser diode
technology, high maintenance costs are things of the past
